Wow – I love all of these Bare Mineral Holiday kits that are starting to surface. Check out this sephora Exclusive – Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Pure Luxuries Collection ($175 Value) bareMinerals Pure Luxuries Collection.
This is a great kit for those of us who prefer brighter jewelt tones to earth tones. It would make an awesome kit to buy for yourself (if not a life time supply, a multi-year supply) and would be the ultimate gift for mineral makeup lovers – especially those who are newer to minerals & haven’t built up the gynormus collection that most of us have – or maybe someone who loves minerals and makeup but is on a limited budget – what an indulgent treat for them!
The kit contains:
Tropics Eyecolor
Charleston Eyecolor
Panther Eyecolor
Hugs Eyecolor
Emotion Eyecolor
No Eye-Deer Eyecolor
The 70s Eyecolor
Nice Pear Eyecolor
Bikini Eyecolor
Turquoise Sea Liner Shadow
Naughty, Naughty Blush
Hot Shot Blush
Pure Radiance All-Over Face Color
Pure Charm Blush
Blushing Beauty All-Over Face Color
Faux Lizard Train Case – looks like the Glamourista case to me

Bare Minerals Bare Treasures Eye Color Holiday Collection

Filed under Mineral Makeup Kits
I was looking around on QVC and found this gorgeous bareMinerals Bare Treasures 20-piece Eye Color Collection. It contains 20 eye colors. Each of them is 0.01 oz, which is half the size of a regular sized eye shadow – but still a great value and a life time supply of many of the colors – especially the liner shadows. The colors included are:
Peacock, a golden peridot shade
Loyalty, a rosewood shade
Night Owl, a steel amethyst shade
Vanity, a bronzed plum shade
Hummingbird, a bashful pink shade
Twilight, a deep midnight periwinkle shade
Fog, a storm sky shade
Starlet Casey, a burnished gold shade
Phoebe, a soft lilac shade
Key Lime, a spearmint green shade
Playful, a frosted gold shade
Sass, a yellow shade
Honey Amber, a light golden honey shade
Jam, a violet shade
Salsa, a hibiscus pink shade
Ecstasy, an opal shade
Mystic, a mauve lavender shade
Clarity, a snow blue shade
Soho, a charcoal gray shade
Fashionista, a chocolate raisin shade
I predict this won’t last very long – if you’re interested you can check it out here – bareMinerals Bare Treasures 20-piece Eye Color Collection

Don’t you just love this time of year, with all of the beauty gift sets? Why do they call them gift sets, when they know we buy them for ourselves? Anyway, I am just loving this Bare Minerals Bare Pleasures Limited Edition Eyeshadow set. It contains these nine Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals eye colors:
Cashmere Eye Color (medium red clay)
Chardonnay Eye Color (light butter)
Bordeaux Eye Color (deep purple merlot)
Tiara Eye Color (light angel pink)
Snowflake Eye Color (sparkling blizzard)
Nice Rock Eye Color (chocolate diamond)
Rose Pearl Eye Color (medium mauve pink)
Black Emerald Liner Shadow (black emerald)
Sapphire Liner Shadow (metallic untramarine)
These are 0.01 oz each, which is half the size of a regular eyeshadow – but who has ever used up an eyeshadow? I know I haven’t and I have had some a very long time. It is a decent value at $48 – it is a Sephora exclusive – you can pick it up here: Bare Escentuals Bare Pleasures – Nine Alluring Eye Colors ($99 Value) Bare Pleasures – Nine Alluring Eye Colors

Urban Decay Primer Potion vs. Bare Escentuals Prime Time Eyelid Primer
February 12, 2008 by Suzanne
Filed under Mineral Makeup Reviews
Comments Off
While I do not use it everyday, I am a HUGE fan of Urban Decay’s Eyelid Primer Potion. It is an awesome product and it does and incredible job of keeping your eye makeup in place until you take it off. When I saw that Bare Escentual’s has a new eyelid / eye makeup primer I wondered how is it different from the Urban Decay product and how could it possibly be any better?
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
comes in an adorable Genie bottle in a wonderful purple color – it is too cute for words! The draw back is that at least half of the product gets trapped in the container & you have to pry off the end to have access to all of the product.
It is $16 for 10 ml or 0.34 ounce.
The ingredients are: Isododecane, Talc, Cyclopentasiloxane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Trihydroxystearin, Triethylhexanoin, Isopropyl Lanolate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Dimethicone, PEG-40 Stearate, Propylene Carbonate, Phenoxyethanol, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Methicone, Isobutylparaben
May Contain: Mica, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides), CI 77163 (Bismuth Oxychloride)
Bare Escentuals bareVitamins Prime Time Eyelid Primer doesn’t have the cuteness – but it does look very functional – with it’s felt tip pen type design.
It is $16 for 15 ml or 0.5 ounce.
The ingredients are: Isododecane, Barium Sulfate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Glyceryl Triethylhexanoate, Polyethylene, Trihydroxystearin, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Propylene Carbonate, Dimethicone, Beeswax (Cera Alba), PEG-40 Stearate, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163).
As you can see from the ingredients in bold, the two formulas seem to be very similar. The Bare Escentuals version has added vitamins, but I am unsure if they would benefit the eyelid in any way. The Bare Escentuals version is also less expensive – provided you can get all of the product out of the container. Urban Decay Primer Potion costs the equivalent of $47 per ounce and Bare Escentuals Eyelid Primer is the equivalent of $32 per ounce. (It seems like you don’t get very much product – but you use such a tiny amount it lasts a really long time.)
It looks to me like it would be a smart thing to do to try out the Bare Escentuals Primer when I run out of Urban Decay Primer Potions, but I sure am going to miss my little Genie Bottle!!
Please feel free to share you review of either (or both!) of these products!
